I only ever watched Stargate Universe so its one major Scifi series I don't know much about.Zontar said:Can't believe there wasn't a single Stargate reference in this video.
You're missing out. They got a lot of good mileage out of the whole Stargate idea. I consider it very solid second tier quality stuff over all - on par with classic Battlestar Galactica, V, DS9 or Farscape.CecilT said:I only ever watched Stargate Universe so its one major Scifi series I don't know much about.Zontar said:Can't believe there wasn't a single Stargate reference in this video.
I know I totally missed the boat on Stargate. When it was first on I was really busy and never watched it. Now there is such much I'd have to clear my schedule and binge for months. If it was on Netflix it would be easier to do but its not so I'd have to buy the box sets and I'd rather not do that.Gorrath said:You're missing out.

Edit: And now that I've watched the video, I have to say that I freakin' love Scanners. The whole premise left the series wide open for a lot of sequels (the broad distribution of the drug meant you could have a significant population of Scanners running around) and it really would make a cool TV series if done right.
It's a tough nut to crack, kind of like trying to go back and binge all of ST:TNG. I think of it as a sometimes show, a snack you can occasionally kick back and enjoy. It doesn't have the kind of top-notch character drama that make tier 1 sci fi shows so great but they do a solid job of evolving the concept over the seasons that they manage to not get horribly stale most of the time. Hopefully it'll get a nice streaming release sometime because I wouldn't spend a bunch of money buying it up.CecilT said:I know I totally missed the boat on Stargate.

If Syfy does finally get to do a Scanners TV show, I hope they keep it on par with the production value of their top shelf shows. It does have a lot of potential.
If DS9 stands for Deep Space Nine there is nothing second rate about it. The first three seasons are a little uneven but once it hits its stride it is among the best Trek ever put to the small screen.Gorrath said:You're missing out.

Yup, DS9 is what I was on about. I consider it a second rate Sci Fi show because, while it had some of the very best episodes of any show I've ever seen (seriously, the way they revisited the Trouble With Tribbles from the original was a triumph!) it also had some LONG stretches of mediocrity. Most of the Dominion war stuff seemed to alternate between boring, cringe-worthy and downright bad.Amir Kondori said:If DS9 stands for Deep Space Nine there is nothing second rate about it.
